Light at the End of the Tunnel

Maybe there is a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. Finally we might give up on the “War on Drugs” and start to just help people. With the legalization of Marijuana in two states south of the border we will stop the process of putting people in jail and instead helping them. Crime exists around drugs because the laws make the selling of drugs a lucrative and steady source of income for gangs and dealers. Take away the risk, drugs become cheap and the whole drug cartels and all the violence that goes with it disappears….overnight. Then the money spent on prisons and police, can be better spend on counseling and life training and quality drug rehab centers. Interesting way to win a war, stop fighting.
